Default Adding a Tachometer..

Anybody ever add a tachometer to their F-150? I don't have one. Feels like I'm missing something. Mine's an '06 5.4LV8

does anyone know if you change out the gague cluster in an '05 stx for an xlt cluster if it would "plug and play"?

if may needed to be programmed at the dealer but it will work, and the mileage will be incorrect, it will show what the new clusters mileage, as it stores mileage in the cluster, not the ecu

I was looking real quick for a gauge cluster, it looks like the fx4 cluster has a tach, I havent been able to find a xlt cluster with a tach, but I could be over looking it
